With the exception of the huge CBH grain silos and jetty, very little of this land was ever actually used by industry.

126-548: The Kwinana Beach area, enormous jetties jut out into the deep-water harbour of Cockburn Sound. Starting with the Kwinana wreck at Wells Park (named for the postmistress, Clara Wells, who inadvertently named the area in 1922), the Kwinana Beach coastline down to Rockingham is now largely used as beach and recreation areas. The Kwinana wreck itself is now an unrecognisable, short concreted line-fishing jetty. Kwinana Beach

Kwinana Beach was officially adopted as a township in 1937. With the new industrial developments at Kwinana Beach in the 1950s, led by BP 's Kwinana Oil Refinery , a large new workers settlement – Kwinana Townsite – was purpose-built slightly inland. Other industries quickly followed – Alcoa , CSBP , CBH , Coogee Chemicals, and others. The original village at Kwinana Beach

Baker, who advised residents to stay put and see what happened. The Air Pollution consultant, Mr A. Keil, informed them that, though there were no immediate plans to use
